It's time to be TransforMD

I am Linzy Fitzsimons, I am a momma to a four year old, a wife and an anesthesiologist with a lot of other interests and passions that make up me! As a child, I learned to bake from my mom and it became an incredible passion. When I made the decision in college to go to medical school, I remember thinking, “becoming a doctor is a secure career, but being a baker seems risky.”

Describe your traditional path in medicine I completed a family medicine residency after medical school and spent a few years working in an urgent care center before moving into an academic medical practice at a large city medical center. Since leaving academics, I have worked in a variety of locations, including as medical director of a student and employee health center, working in FQHC's, emergency room fast track, medical director utilization review for insurance companies, camp physician at an internationally known summer arts academy, serving as a volunteer adjunct instructor for two medical schools, volunteer medical director for a homeless women's shelter, and now working as medical director of a large city government organization. My skills as a generalist have taken me far!!

Hi. I’m Dr Heather Hammerstedt and I’m a Health Curator. Perhaps you haven’t heard that term before, as it’s a radical idea. Let’s back up and I’ll tell you about me and how I got here and what I’m curating for all of us today.

I graduated from the University of Miami School of Medicine in 1999 and completed my residency in Family Medicine at Florida Hospital in Orlando in 2002. To fulfill my National Health Service Corp Scholarship obligation, I served in a Federally Qualified Health Center in the rural town of Immokalee, Florida for four years, and spent another two years there because I was passionate about working with the underserved.

Around 2011 I felt burned out; I simply could not give anymore. I closed the practice and worked in med spas, but unfortunately the work was not fulfilling enough for me. I started looking into other sources of income. During this point of my life, which I refer to as my creative time, I sold a skin care line, designed a scar product, designed and manufactured a lingerie line, designed T-shirts, wrote a book and took some coding and physician review courses.
